Autonomous AI Agents

Seven purpose-built agents that continuously discover, classify, document, govern, monitor, build and analyse your enterprise data estate—without manual effort.

Agent Catalog

Seven Specialised Agents

Discovery Agent

Always-on asset discovery

Continuously crawls every connected data source to find new assets, detect schema changes and surface previously unknown datasets—without human intervention.

Responsibilities

  • Crawl connected data sources on configurable schedules
  • Detect schema changes and surface drift alerts
  • Identify net-new assets and register them in the Context Layer
  • Generate initial classification and tagging suggestions
  • Maintain connector health and surface connectivity issues

Inputs

Connector configurationsSource schemasDiscovery schedulesExclusion policies

Outputs

Asset recordsSchema change eventsClassification suggestionsDiscovery reports

Classification Agent

Automated sensitivity and domain tagging

Applies PII detection, sensitivity tagging and domain classification to every discovered asset using policy rules and LLM reasoning—at scale, without manual effort.

Responsibilities

  • Detect PII and sensitive data patterns across every column
  • Apply domain classification using semantic rules and LLM inference
  • Tag assets with sensitivity labels (Public, Internal, Confidential, Restricted)
  • Route classification exceptions to steward review queues
  • Re-classify assets when policy definitions change

Inputs

Raw asset metadataPolicy definitionsDomain taxonomiesLLM classification prompts

Outputs

Classification tagsSensitivity labelsDomain assignmentsSteward exception queue

Documentation Agent

Business-friendly descriptions at scale

Generates business-friendly descriptions, usage guidance and example queries for every data asset—eliminating the documentation debt that plagues every enterprise.

Responsibilities

  • Generate plain-language asset descriptions from schema and sample data
  • Create usage guidance tailored to each data persona
  • Suggest example queries and access patterns
  • Enrich assets with domain context from the knowledge graph
  • Flag assets with insufficient documentation for steward review

Inputs

Schema definitionsSample data (anonymised)Domain contextExisting descriptions

Outputs

Asset descriptionsUsage notesExample queriesTag suggestionsDocumentation quality scores

Governance Agent

Real-time policy compliance monitoring

Monitors policy compliance, enforces access rules and flags violations in real time—making governance a continuous process rather than a periodic audit.

Responsibilities

  • Monitor every data access event against defined access policies
  • Detect and alert on policy violations in real time
  • Enforce retention, classification and quality policies automatically
  • Generate compliance audit trails for GDPR, HIPAA, SOX, CCPA
  • Propose remediation steps for flagged violations

Inputs

Policy definitionsAccess logsAsset metadataLineage graph

Outputs

Compliance reportsViolation alertsAudit trailsRemediation suggestions

Quality Agent

Continuous data quality monitoring

Profiles datasets, scores quality across five dimensions and monitors for drift—ensuring consumers always know the trustworthiness of every data product they subscribe to.

Responsibilities

  • Profile datasets for completeness, accuracy, freshness, uniqueness and validity
  • Score quality against defined SLAs and flag breaches
  • Monitor for statistical drift against established baselines
  • Surface quality trends and improvement recommendations
  • Alert data product owners when quality SLAs are at risk

Inputs

Dataset samplesQuality rulesHistorical baselinesSLA definitions

Outputs

Quality scoresDrift alertsQuality trend reportsImprovement recommendations

Build Agent

Automated data product assembly

Assembles, documents and publishes data products from governed source datasets—following defined contracts and SLAs without requiring manual engineering effort for each product.

Responsibilities

  • Assemble data products from governed source assets
  • Generate product documentation, schemas and contracts
  • Validate quality requirements before publishing
  • Register products in the Data Product Registry
  • Monitor published products against their contracted SLAs

Inputs

Product specificationsSource assetsGovernance policiesQuality SLAs

Outputs

Published data productsProduct contractsDocumentationQuality validation reports

Impact Agent

Change impact analysis before you act

Analyses the downstream blast radius of any proposed schema or policy change before it is applied—preventing unintended breakages in AI models, dashboards and data products.

Responsibilities

  • Traverse the lineage graph to identify all downstream dependants
  • Score impact severity by asset type and consumer criticality
  • Generate a prioritised impact report for proposed changes
  • Alert owners of affected assets and data products
  • Suggest mitigation paths for high-risk changes

Inputs

Proposed schema or policy changeLineage graphAsset metadataConsumer subscriptions

Outputs

Impact reportAffected asset listRisk assessmentMitigation suggestions
Agent Orchestration

Agents That Work Together

Contivra agents share a common context layer, lineage graph and policy engine. A discovery event triggers classification; classification enriches documentation; governance monitors compliance; quality validates SLAs. The result is a continuously operating, self-reinforcing data operations loop.

Enterprise Controls

Safe, Auditable, Controllable

Policy Boundaries

Every agent operates within policy-defined boundaries. No agent can access data it is not authorised to see.

Audit Logs

Every agent action—discovery, classification, governance check—produces an immutable, queryable audit log.

Human Override

Stewards can review, override or pause any agent action. Humans remain in control; agents handle the scale.
